GAS-BELL HANGER.

Specification of L etters Patent. Patented N 12,1918,

Application filed January 14, 1918. Seria1No.211,788.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PAUL J. VVIDERA, a citizen of the- United States, residing at Chicago, in the countv of Cook and State of Illinois. have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gas-Bell Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to gas fixtures and has special reference to a gas bell hanger.

One object of the invention is to improve and simplify the general construction of devices of this character.

A second important object of the invention is to provide an improved form of gas bell hanger readily attachable to the vertical type of the gas fixture and wherein the arm supporting the gas bell may be set at one ofa number of desired angles without the use of set screws or the like.

With the above and other objects in view,

as will be hereinafter apparent the invention consists in general of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated inthe accompanying drawing, and specifically claimed.

In the accompanying drawing, like characters of reference indicate like parts in the several views,- and Figural is an elevation of a gas fixture having the gas b'ell hanger applied thereto.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail section through a sliding joint, as used herewith.

Fig. 3 is a top plan View of certain sockets for adjusting the angularity of the arms, as used herewith. I

Fig. 4 is an enlarged side view of the clamp which fits on the vertical member of the gas fixture.

Fig. 5 is a plan view of the device as shown in Fig. 4.

Fig. 6 is an enlarged detail view of the connecting joint of the clamps used herewith. 4

In carrying out the objects of this invention and as shown in the drawings herein set forth, there is indicated a gas fixture F having a central post or supply pipe 1?. On this supply pipe is fitted a clamp which consists of a semicircular member 10- having at one end a pair of hinge eyes 11 and at the other end a projecting lug 12 provided with a slot 13. The clamp furthermore'has a second semi-circular member 14- provided with a hinge ear 1 and through the ears 11 and 15 passes a pivot bolt 16.

The last-mentioned member 14 is provided with other hinge ears 17 to which is pivot: ally connected an arm 18 having an opening 19 therethroughfor the reception of a bolt 20 provided'wit'h a nut 21. By means of this construction the nut may simply be loosened and the arm 18 swung out as shown in Fig. 6 so as to free the two halves 10 and 1% at one side from each other and thus permlt the clamp to be opened for application and removal. At the center of each half 10 and 14 the clamp is provided with a vertical elongated lug 22, each lug having a polygonal opening 23 extending therethrough, the opening being preferably octagonal. The arms of the hanger consists of inner tubular members 24. having downturned ends 25 polygonal in cross section soas to fit the openings 23. 'Slidable in these tubular arms 25 are rods 26 having upturned ends 27 so that bells 28 may be hung thereon over theburners B of thefixture 'F. These arms 2-6 are held in adjusted position within thetubular members 24 by set screws 29.

Now it will be observed'that'by proper manipulation of the set screws and arms 26 and 24 the bells may be adjusted to extend inwardly or outwardly as desired and that by setting the ends 25 at difi'erent angles in the openings 23 the arms may be angularl'y adjusted with reference to the clamp. This is advisable in many instances wherein the pipe P is not circular in cross section because it frequently happens that the clamp cannot be applied to the pipe in the exact posltion desired unless it is necessary to set the arms 24 and 26 at proper angles.

There has thus been provided a simple and eiiicient device of the kind described and for the purpose specified.

It is obviousthat many minor changes may be made in the form and construction of the invention without departing from the hingedly connected to the adjacent end of I. in cl'c lb section and of ihe I :[1 T0 bu sfamlu.
